Phil Jagielka everton

English centre-back Phil Jagielka is in his tenth Premier League season with Everton, and he is off to one of his finest starts.

Leading the league in both clearances (64) and headed clearances (44), Jagielka has been an essential part of a Toffees’s defence that has only allowed five goals in seven matches.

At the age of 34, Jagielka continues to prove his tremendous value week in and week out to manager Ronald Koeman.
